Day 1: A positioning day to the Martin Busch Hut
Ski Touring Moderate
This is an easy day up the valley to the hut. It can be combined with some skiing off the lifts in Vent before you start skinning to get you ski legs going, or further skinning above the hut as desired. The following day goes very high so an easier day to acclimatise might be a good investment for the rest of the tour. From the village of Vent follow the obvious skinning trail from the church up the steep sided valley floor on the R side of the river in ascent.
Moderate
Slopes become slightly steeper at around 25-30 degrees.
